This series of games is getting waaaay too easy. There is no incentive to continue with them. Either decrease the number of colours or increase the number of squares. I used to enjoy playing them, but now you don't have to think about where the colours go. If you can count up to 20 then you should have absolutely no problem. There is no excuse for making a mistake. Try a 20 by 30 square (or something).
I don't recommend this game.

I seem to remember playing this game, or one so much like it a number of years ago, that it could be a remake. Did someone just update an old game?
I didn't buy it then, and I won't buy it now.
If you're going to update an old game you could at least change the artwork so you have different people in the game, or change it enough so it doesn't look like something from a long time ago.

Either music - or no music. No other adjustment available.
Either sound - or no sound. Same.
Had to guess what to do. No instructions I could find.
Only got as far as hitting the gong with the mallet (3 minutes in ) but couldn't find out what to do after that. Gave up as a waste of time. Graphics were old and flat. Did not enjoy this game at all.
I definitely do not recommend this game.

Why oh why do the developers insist on putting the mosaics on top of a picture background that has the same colours as the mosaic design. Especially when there are 2 or more similar colours in the mosaic design as there are in the background. It's extremely difficult to tell them apart. PLEASE put a blank (monochrome) background behind the mosaic design. And just for your information - I am definitely NOT colour blind.
Also - WHAT story line? As far as I could tell - there wasn't one. There was nothing to say so-and-so lived here, went there, was doing something. It was just a forest background with a bunch of different mosaic designs.
This is one game I do not recommend.

I own several Match-3 games. This one is just not up to par with the others. The only choice there is for the sound is either on or off. I had a couple of glitches in the 10 minutes I actually played the game - including the game board partially emptying then freezing. I had to exit out of the game and restart. There was no story-line, just some background pictures (very static and cartoonish). Even though I was able to complete the boards within the given number of moves, gaining the required number of points there was no explanation as to the awarding of the stars. (Some boards I received 3 stars, others zero stars.)
This was not an enjoyable game, even as a time-waster when you are just killing time.
I will not be buying this game, neither do I recommend it.

In this case they stole my time. I'm sure I could have found something better to do with my time - laundry, vacuuming, etc.
As one of the previous players said, the music was boring and only one colour? I know the mosaics with several colours can be just as boring, but at least they give something different to look at. This type of griddler might be okay for the absolute novice to learn how to do them, or as in the case of the player who is colour blind it won't give you a headache. (My husband is colour blind so I do sympathise).
And the music was so bad I switched it off.
This is one game I will not recommend - and I played the full demo just in case it might get better - it didn't.

I found this game to be definitely boring. There was absolutely no storyline to it, and why have a white colour in the mosaic colour selections when the background is near enough white. Difficult to tell if it's filled in yet. Otherwise the rest of the colours are very clear. Also the colour difference between the tiles hiding the puzzle piece and the other tiles is not distinct enough, not enough contrast.
On most of the puzzles you could pretty well tell what the object was most likely to be, which made it very easy to fill in the colours - except on some of them all you had was random blobs of colour with absolutely no rhyme or reason to put those colours there. It was only when you had completed the puzzle that you discovered it was actually a Xmas tree with pine cones (I wondered what those brown blobs were) and presents, or random items on a table. And when you got to the puzzles where you had 5 or more colours there was no contest. They were so easy to do.
I almost completed the full demo, but I got so bored with it that I quit before I fell asleep.

Nope. No challenge. Boring. One of the worst of it's kind I think I have ever played.
I actually managed to play the demo for a whole 12 minutes before I had enough and just couldn't manage another second.
I will definitely NOT be playing this game ever again.

I believe this is the first time I have ever given 2 reviews in 1 day - never mind 2 good reviews - for mosaics style games. Out of sheer boredom I have tried 2 new games, both being mosaics style. They actually both have something new, this one having different shaped tiles. It gives you something else to think about other than just colours. You have to take a bit more care and think a bit more about what you are doing. I just wish the demos were a bit more than one hour. It is over all too quickly.
This is a definite buy for me.

This is the first one I have tried in this series. I was surprised to find I enjoyed it. It is different from the other mosaic puzzles (e.g. penguins) with actual patterned mosaic tiles instead of just plain colours. I especially enjoyed the ones with an actual landscape as the backdrop instead of making a picture with different coloured tiles. It made a refreshing change.
Yes, some of them are basic mosaics, but this one has some of the other style tiles. Makes it just a bit more interesting.
I play the mosaic style games more to pass the time, but these ones are a lot more interesting. Makes me want to play more.
The 1 hour demo just wasn't enough.
